Berlusconi: "Neither Balotelli nor Kaká"

AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi now claims the club will not be making moves for neither the Manchester City player Mario Balotelli, nor the Real Madrid midfielder, Kaká. "It's not possible in this day and age to play Monopoly. Galliani remains optimistic but the tough language of accounting keeps him from doing his work.", Berlusconi said in reference to the figures being bandied around regarding the possible transfers, and Milan's finances.

Berlusconi acknowledged that Milan has held talks in Manchester about a possible transfer of Balotelli to Milan. The meeting was attended by Mino Raiola, the Italian player’s agent and Ferran Soriano, CEO of Manchester City.

The outcome of that meeting were negotiations around the ¤ 25 million mark for the transfer of the Italian international, a figure currently way beyond Milan’s reach, as Berlusconi himself admitted.
